    Both front fenders looked like this after the motor was replaced:

    The remainder of the paint got polished in the same manner.

    The fascia? area right above the tips was just about solid black, from a pig rich tune in the past. I can't believe I did not get a before pic. Anyway I think I used "just a bit" of ZAIO to get it clean. The spots above each tip are hot spots and will not come out. The yellow Z06 exhause plate was cleaned with ZAIO as well.

    The tips got cleaned w/ some metal polish that I found on the shelf at the shop since I did not bring my blue magic with me. I then followed that up with deep finish chrome.

    Wheels got ZAIO and tires got Z-16.

    Car was foamed again with 3 oz of Z7 and the rest of the 32oz bottle with water to remove the polishing oils.

    Dried with pakshak WW MFs.

    I applied 3x of the following:

    80% Z5pro, 20% Z2pro, 2 shots of Z8 and 4-5 drops of ZFX. Total mixed 1/2oz.

    1x of Z8.

    Vehicle looks great, very nice turn around on the front side fenders, they sure got abused.

    Just curious, the scratches on the side fenders where they quite deep or more of a surface scratch?

    Just wondering that's all, thank you for sharing with us. Vehicle looks great :thumb:

    I agree! that's the cleanest Mill. Yellow c5 I've seen!

    Also looks as if he put the stock rear 18/10.5's up front and got the 18/12's for the rear.. if so, thats very tasteful and makes a killer stance!!

    Nice job!:applause2:

    I think that's just the stocker 295s our back; they don't look that wide. Sorry for the threadjack:whistle:

    Thanks Dave! I always enjoy your work.

    Thanks DD!

    Thanks Carlos! A few of them where pretty deep, so I let them go after 4x w/ M105.

    Thanks Angelo.

    Thanks Pirex!

    Thanks P1et!

    Thanks Beast! 18 x10.5s all around.

    Thanks Maesal!

    This one is a friends of mine and I do not see myself getting another one for a while. The Denali payment is plenty, but it is the detailing rig. :)

    Thanks GBS!

    You are correct sir!
